Noor, 96, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,350 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a heart attack Noor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noor desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Noor worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
• Medication and prescriptions: $620
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Anne. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 18 people at work. God bless
Rooting for you, Anne. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
